It’s so peaceful and beautiful and away from the hustle and bustle and yet still close to so many beautiful and scenic stops, great bakeries, and beaches. The property managers are super lovely and show you everything upon check in. The villa itself it’s styled beautifully, a modern and yet rustic vibe (we stayed in the Yellow one) and the pool and common areas are terrific and have beautiful views. There was a tropical storm that passed through when we got in and they made sure to give us extra batteries and flashlights, plus ice, and encouraged us to get a few extra things from the local store. We only lost power for a few hours and they were wonderful and came by to check in on us. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again. Thank you so much for a beautiful and special time! It was so perfect for our anniversary/babymoon! ##### Kelley Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022
